Teacher-Student Data Linkage
Update
DATAG
December 2, 2011
Complexities
• Multiple teachers responsible for student
learning outcomes:
• Co-teachers
• Push-in teachers
• Pull-out sections
• Changes over time in teacher
assignments
• Changes over time in student enrollment
• Changes over time in student attendance
Linkage Data Elements
 Multiple teachers assigned to a course section
 Teacher-student linkage to be expressed as a
proportion to reflect changes over time:
 Duration* of student enrollment-teacher assignment
linkage for course (minutes) – Field 14
 Duration* of student attendance-teacher assignment
linkage for course (minutes) – Field 15
 Duration* of course (minutes) – Field 18
 Teacher-student linkage start/end dates
 Teacher-student linkage duration adjustments
(correction for hard-to-schedule situations)
 Student exclude flag
* As of state assessment date

Model
Linkage Issues
• State data system capacity sufficient to enable policy
options
• Rules for “exclude flag”
• Vendor capacity
• Fidelity of student management system extracts
• Human resource management systems
• LEA capacity
• LEAs without student management systems
• Roster verification
• Daily verification while taking attendance
• On-demand verification access (weekly refresh)
• End-of-cycle verification (linkage deadline shortly after
assessment administration)
• Auditing of extracts
